Video intercom systems for Victoria buildings
Greater Victoria has older walk-ups and strata buildings still on phone-line buzzers, and new rental buildings in Langford and Colwood built for app-based entry. We install and support video intercoms across Victoria, Saanich and the Westshore.
Many residents no longer have a landline, so old buzzers miss calls. A video intercom calls residents in an app, with a phone-number backup where needed, and the manager updates the directory online.
Serving Greater Victoria and southern Vancouver Island as part of our Alberta and BC service area.

Video intercom questions in Victoria
Can you replace an old buzzer or Enterphone in a Victoria building?
Yes. We replace phone-line buzzers with video intercoms, often reusing the existing wiring, and give the strata council written options first.
Do you cover Saanich, Langford and Colwood?
Yes. We install intercoms across Greater Victoria, including Saanich, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Langford, Colwood and Sidney.
What sets the price of an intercom in Victoria?
The entrances, panel type, retrofit or new build, and the software plan. A site walk sets the quote.
Our intercom company stopped answering. Can you take over?
Yes. Where the building owns the system, we regain admin access and support it.
Can older residents still answer on a regular phone?
In most cases, yes. Many intercoms we install can ring a regular phone number.
Can entrances be monitored after hours?
Yes. Entrance and parkade cameras can be watched live after hours by our monitoring partner.
Do you work on new Westshore developments?
Yes. We work with Westshore builders so panels, cable and power are in place before drywall.
